Agriculture

The origins of most food products such as bread, milk, meat, fruit, vegetables, sugar and so on are in agriculture. Farmers grow crops and raise animals to fulfil the demands of today’s food supply chain and production methods vary greatly from small organic farms to industrial agriculture.

Inevitably, farming has an important impact on the environment and ensuring a safe, sustainable supply of food for the world’s fast growing population is a major challenge for the future of agriculture.
